Hi there, I just ran a comparative test render with cycles on two different builds of blender r56315. One compiled with VC 2008 and one compiled with VC 2012.
Simple scene with a high detail character VC 2008: 18 Minutes 33 seconds VC 2012: 16 Minutes 06 seconds All on CPU, no CUDA yet. I'd really like a benchmark for blender in order to compare physics, rendering and other features. Is there any? By the way, the builds are both x64, the vs 2012 build was done with /arch:AVX and GHOST SDL instead of GHOST Win32 because of the odd crashing issue on Win 8. Both builds and the prerequisite libs can be downloaded at my site: http://shadowrom.de Best regards Jürgen _______________________________________________ Bf-committers mailing list Bf-committers@blender.org http://lists.blender.org/mailman/listinfo/bf-committers
